Why? because they have our backs 24/7.The first to arrive and provide life-saving support at the scene of an injury, our first responders are there for us 24/7. They immediately jump into dangerous and critical situations, without fear for their own safety in order to help us.
Countless lives have been saved, properties protected and more because of their bravery. This is why Freedom Day USA has developed the First Lunch program, held each year during First Responder's Week (FRW - held the second week of May). Teaming up with local restaurants, such as Chick-Fil-A, businesses across the USA are providing lunch to the first responders in their area during FRW. We are also challenging each of YOU, our community members, to personally say thank you by taking lunch to a first responder, or sending one through us. We realize that buying lunch may not change someone's life - BUT it is a small thank you for our First Responders. The Goal of First Lunch is to show our appreciation to those who take care of us when we need them most! |
